Spartacus seeks Vengeance Jan 27th

[Dark Drakan]

Starz have finally put fans out of their misery and announced a date for when Spartacus Vengeance will air and its January 27th 2012. After the sad passing of Andy Whitfield, Liam McIntyre has stepped into the shoes of Spartacus. After the success of Spartacus Blood & Sand and then after Andys illness the prequel Gods of The Arena season 2 has been eagerly awaited by fans. ​

RIP Andy Whitfield hope the series continues the success you helped set in motion.​

Can see the announcement, poster and new video here.​

Nice, so that's not really far off. Skyrim will keep me plenty busy until then so I'm content.

Yeah, we knew it was Jan it was coming but wasnt sure of an actual official date so its nice to find out its not far off. Just getting into Boardwalk Empire too, with that and a couple of others shows and plenty of games to keep me occupied until then its looking like a great couple of months of entertainment.

Looking forward to it. Seeing the new star is going to take some getting used to though. I keep seeing scenes in trailers and forgetting that he's the main character now.

I have to say he looks a lot like Andy though, its rather eerie. I have to double take on some shots.

^ True that. They did a great job finding a replacement. Really glad they chose to do that rather than letting the show die with its star.

Yeah, Andy wanted the show to continue and its a tribute to the hard work and performance he put in. So the show deserves to continue to be as successful and an honour to his memory.

Such an awesome series. I nicknamed it Blood and Tits lol. I'm really looking forward to see this though waiting for each episode rather than watching an entire season will suck.

What more could you ask for in a show? :lol:

Yeah waiting for a new episode all the time will be hard. Same as I feel each week when waiting for a new episode of The Walking Dead.

UPDATE​

Starz has renewed Spartacus for Season 3 before Season 2 has even aired...​

 

[Tyloric]

I can fap to this.

 

[Tsuyu]

So can I. Isn't it amazing how a tv show can bring people together irregardless of sexual orientation?

I haven't started that series yet. I'm tempted to wait until it's canceled so I can marathon the whole thing.:lol:

The Walking Dead broke records for the channels ratings which it aired on in both US and UK so I dont think its going to be cancelled at any point.

Season 1

The pilot received 5.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched series premiere episode of any AMC television series. The first season finale received 6 million viewers, a season high; with 4 million viewers in the 18–49 demographic, making it the most watched basic cable series for the demographic. The premiere in the UK had 579,000 viewers, almost double for any other show on FX that week.

Season 2

The season two premiere set a new record of 7.3 million viewers. The episode also set new records for the most viewers in the 18–49 and 25–54 demographics, with 4.8 million and 4.2 million viewers respectively, making it the most watched episode of a drama in the history of basic cable television in these measures. The original broadcast and the two subsequent encore presentations of the episode drew a collective total of 11 million viewers.

Very dark atmosphere about the new series and the chemistry between Liam McIntyre and Manu Bennett is instant which is good to see. Only thing I found was its hard to remember all the characters and events that went on with the gap between Blood and Sand and Vengeance and the new characters that are thrown in too. The combat is just as vicious and bloody as always and the overall look and feel of the series is as good as ever and im glad to see it back.
